*Landmark: “A structure that has significant historical, architectural, or cultural meaning.” If you are seeking a home of contemporary-design this property is not for you! However, if you are seeking a well preserved, genuine Mountain home of character and comfort located in a private, peaceful, protected spot look no further!
This is the home of a well-known Mountain family who after 40 years of continuous residence are ready to down-size: plans are in place and they are ready to sell. Are you ready to buy? The 100 year-old farmhouse has been appropriately and sympathetically updated.
